No I’m not talking bout surgeries. No pain is involved here. No surgical recoveries, no sacrifice and long waits. But a couple of minutes for patience to details.

Make your eye bags disappear, whiten your teeth, lose fats and wrinkles in just a couple of minutes. You’d absolutely look good in reunion photos and in your friend’s wedding album.

I’m not talking about magic nor miracle, but we could probably put it that way. I’m talking bout graphic photo editing softwares like GIMP and Photoshop.

How easily we could do those this days. Just a few clicks, and you’d get to where you want to be, control how you wanted to be seen and how you wanted to be remembered in an occassion.

GIMP can do mostly, what Photoshop can do. GIMP is more popular with Ubuntu or Linux(Operating system) users. It requires little hard drive space. But the best thing about it is, it’s free and portable. Photoshop on the other hand, requires a lot of space, and ADOBE got so much more to brag about. Unlike GIMP that sometimes runs slow and freezes Photoshop runs efficiently. I could say nothing bad, you just get what you paid for.

But anyway this isn’t about these 2 softwares. It’s about what they can do for you to pull out the old photos out of the basement chest and display it once again. You’d be so proud of your pictures you’d duplicate copies to give away, even blow up the size and post it on living room walls.

Let’s start off and use GIMP.

Use a tired looking photo to edit. Now our goal for now is to get rid of the eyebags that make a face look older.

Now we’ll take few easy steps. Once you’ve opened your picture you must click on the smudge tool (hand icon) and use a fuzzy brush, then lower it’s opacity a bit. Resize the brush a bit bigger according to what’s needed.

Once ready, drag the tool upwards to the eyebags avoiding to touch the eyelids so the eyes won’t look distorted. The direction of the brush should be from the upper cheek upwards leading to the side.

Now here’s the outcome. VERY SIMPLE and slick

Let’s now move on to.. TEETH WHITENING:

Now, what we’re going to do next is whiten you’re noticeable yellowish teeth. Yup, you won’t need to see your dentist for it and cry in pain.

Right click current layer and click on “NEW transparent layer”

The purpose of making a new layer is to have the back up of original look, just in case you make mistakes or you wish to undo and redo changes you’ve made.

Just get a fuzzy brush.

Click on the color palette. Then change the values of Red, Green and Blue (Red=230 Green=230 Blue=255), the outcome color will be a very very light blue.

Then change the brush opacity to 10%.Then change the size of your brush acording to your smallest teeth.

Make sure the “transparent layer”(upper layer) is highlighted, while you brush on the teeth portion only. And you may brush as much as your tooth needs whitening.
